Same here, how do you connect with those you serve when you live in an alternate universe. That's all I'm saying, not looking for a spat.
and no...if I won a few million today, I'd still not go out and purchase $500. slipper.
Now...a new Harley Davidson Soft tail...yea prolly. lol
My parents had a close friend that was a multi-billionare (industrial metals engineer that invented, built and sold some household stuff). He had a very nice older home - not much to look at from the street but it was huge - Olympic indoor and outdoor pools, etc.
He drove an old Cadillac, wore typical business suits - not flashy at all (he is an engineer after all!). I know he would think $500 for slippers was silly. He always had a very nice yacht though!
